 Detailed review:

Our test drive came when we purchased this vehicle. We waited for two years for this vehicle to come into production and we are glad we waited. Performance is a whole lot better than we expected. Passing on the highway is smoothe with no hesitation. I must say that pick up from a stationary position is not as easy as a regular gas engine (because the electric engine kicks in before the gas), but it will get some getting use to. Road noise is a little annoying at times (especailly when the radio is off), but this is expected as it is not a luxury vehicle. Overall... great SUV. I never thought I would own a SUV, but now I do and I love this one. Way to go Ford.. you have set the bar for others to beat.
